and the new TXL-F....that's right Mr. Kotter. Epstein did you know that with the new released aero nano obtanium resin sage lowered the TXL's weight by 33%. Check out the weights of these trout slingers UN-F-IN-BELIEVABLE

Porter, the rare element is called "unobtanium". See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unobtanium

No this is the newer lighter stuff...and it appears all the rod makers are getting their hands on it. NRX, BIIIX, etc. :clown:

Nice Link Porter!

It's interesting to see those "super" ultra-light rods out there... maybe not for dryfly fishing, but use them for high sticking should be really sensitive and fun!

What a new rod being released for less than $550? Am I seeing things correctly or am I just slightly jaded based on the current trends in rod price.

Sage is calling it a "Mid priced Rod". WOW, $550.00 is in the mid price range???

It isn't the SAME lighter/stronger stuff from 3m is it?? It CANT be the same since the vxp is only costing $475 to $535 and the NRX is costing $800 -1200 (approximate)

Better components and of course baby blue aqua thread will add costs. :clown:
